Let me ask a stupid question. Why are we still defending the people of Europe? Most of them hate our guts.
They go … we go!
Not central and eastern Europe. Over there, America and Americans are loved and a visit by President Bush will bring people out by the thousands for the opportunity to hear him speak.
I remember when he visited in Romania. My uncle was working there and I was watching Fox News on the reports of Bush speaking there. It was pouring rain. And the Romanian people stood hours in the rain to hear the leader of the free world speak.
There's a strong connection and recognition that comes among people who love and value freedom. This link is very strong.
Now Western Europe, spoiled and decadent is an entirely different matter.
